Can anyone give me a idea on how to make a new box and put links in it???????? the links will link to other sites.

The image thing threw me off for a good hour. Apparently I had to add in the http:// before the www. to get the image path right. Otherwise it was smooth sailing and works great so far. Great job!

Ghostspy - check the add-on forum, I thought I saw a hack for it there.

in any one of the custom blocks not being used By you.

To change the title

change this line to whatever you want.

and to add the links

Where this line is in the custom template
Change inside the tags this "Block $box Content", to whatever you want in there

Ex.

As far as I know, you don't need the tags, but it's not going to hurt anything.


same procedure as above.
Just copy the code provided by Paypal(on their site).

Hi all, first of all I would like to thank you for this hack, without it I would not have changed from phpbb and mx-system portal as our users like the portal look
Ok now on to my questions: -

Will there be any kind of "FAQ" or "How To" be written to go alongside this excellent portal, I need to know a few things like : -
Can the custom boxes use html
How to I get RSS feeds in a custom block
How do I get google ads in a custom block

Thanks for taking time out to read this post and take care

I have vbindex templates installed. Incidentally - do they need to be master or as a sub style of the default style?
I tried both but now I'm not sure how to turn them on.

I imported them using style manager.

No when I select the style on the main forum page - its still the same ???? No changes.
What should I check next?

-- UPDATE

I totally replaced the default style with the one imported from vbindex_templates.xml which was in the admincp directory. I imported it using Style Manager

No change...

Any links or contacts to anyone running IIS who HAS got this to work?

Now I have my custom templates imported , how can I invoke them?

See attached snapshot of where they lie under the Default Style in the Style manager..

Thank you very much! I now realize what I was missing. :D you all rock.

Yes custom blocks can use HTML, just add it in the template. More details can be found in the ACP by clicking the (?) help icon. A FAQ is being worked on for vBindex. To add RSS/google ads you just have to place the relevent HTML in the custom blocks template.

I don't know of anyone off hand. If your path is set right and you still get a white page then I assume its a problem with IIS.

The new vb 3.0.1 has no affect on vBindex right? From the looks of it I don't think it does, but I just want to make sure before upgrading.
